Why Do My Cats Play Patty Cake?

FX productions that redefined their respective genres.

some time ago TV.com launched an interesting article on this curious subject, and is that for a few seasons, mainly since the start of the wonderful The Shield, FX is becoming a major market benchmark, risking very much with each new production launches. FX is not a premium cable station, as advertising revenue and ratings are their daily bread, and although have not become slaves to the numbers as the decentralized SyFy, leak itself interesting products that provide nominations as Damages, or are genuinely different as Terriers, which is recessed from the zero point.

The premise of giving birth when the FX series is simple, there must be something that is not being seen on television, that is, adopt a basic gender and twist it so it look new, and that television is becoming more and more complicated.

The Shield (2002-2008) that redefines Gender: Police Series.

The greatest success to date of FX shows us the corruption in the police, sometimes in a very cruel, sometimes in human form, demonstrated for 7 seasons that the law is not always the same side for all and it seems incorruptible a priori can be a double edged sword. In 2004 with Rescue Me and 2010 with the aforementioned Terriers turn to shake the foundations of the station's favorite genre.

Nip / Tuck (2003-2010) redefined Genre: Medical Series.

maudlin plots aside, hospice and personal exceedances, Nip / Tuck ambitious presents two plastic surgeons who have no qualms at being sexually involved with patients or skirt the limits of the law when necessary. Its eruption in 2003 shocked friends and strangers, and although their quality declined drastically at the end of their journey was once one of the more risky projects to be issued on basic cable.

On It's Always Sunny Philadelphia. (2005 -?) redefined Gender: Sitcom.

With a pilot they say took $ 200, the sitcom for excellence and most successful of the station has become a hit disproportionate among the target audience for FX, but is that also to be broadcast on cable, has been able to develop taboo topics that are unthinkable in any open network in which only may become implied, Always Sunny goes a step further and reinvents himself as in his day was 30 Rock on NBC how to eat a sitcom.

Damages (2007-2010, 2010 -?) redefined Genre: Drama Legal.

series about lawyers usually take place mostly in the courtroom, but not Damages, one of the best current television series that focuses on the ins and outs with a different seasonal and goings their characters, with fragmented and told a story and casting millimeter would leave with their mouths open to any producer, FX canceled by its low profitability, but DirecTV has saved from burning.

Sons Of Anarchy (2008 -?) redefined Genre: Family Drama .

as it did in 2007 with The Richies, Sons Of Anarchy has the classic form of dysfunctional family dramas, in a Shakespearian tells family problems like no other series had done to date, and it is the current jewel in the crown of his station. Public criticism and had not been made thus never agree.

Archer (2009 -?) redefined Genre: Adult Animation .

One of the most funny and poignant today, Archer has a sense of humor as twisted and dwarfs to gambling allegedly mature Adult Swim, his reception was more subtle but critical reaction more than satisfactory.

Justified (2010 -?) redefined Genre: Western

The last great success of the channel is not set in the nineteenth century but at present, though the rules of behavior have not changed all that much, yes, the ghosts of our society are very much present, although not enough, Justified is a perfect crossroads between traditional values \u200b\u200band cutting edge .

FX now faces a complicated situation, viewers basic cable are not the same as the premium cable, and never have been, risk is more complicated and time of excessive fragmentation, where now, not even the cable, seems immune from cancellations and schedule to dance what we have used the network.

Charmed: Behind The Scenes (II).

At the beginning of the 2002-2003 season, TheWB seemed to introduce a new style in your grill with series focused on a family audience, away from the scheme so far we had used, while maintaining its signature series. From that time until his death in the season 2005-2006, WB will fail as major releases in a hurry and are just a few are chosen to survive more than one season.

Season 5.

WB decided to change the date of issuance of his schedule Thursday to death Sunday at the 20:00 where no production records had managed to achieve optimal, and jumped all alarms, thinking it was the expected motion to leave the series die in his day was done with Buffy and his fifth season, but nothing is further from the Actually, Charmed improved over 80% rating the chain had been making last year, up 92% in the demographic data.

serialized arc After the fourth-season asked Brad Kern to soften the plots and to return to the scheme "monster of the week" that had worked so well in the first few seasons and would allow the people adapt to time and to get caught if he had lost the odd episode. In January 2003 the figure reached the hundred chapters with a bittersweet, Julian McMahon had decided to leave the series and embark on a new project called Nip / Tuck, producers were afraid to see another major pillar of the series left the ship, but soon signed him to an unknown Eric Dane as love interest for Phoebe, a relationship that would become reality behind the cameras.

Charmed managed to increase the overall ratings compared to last season, something not usually seen in such series, and half got 4.5 million remedy TheWB hole that cost him five years effort.

6 ª Temporada.

The hearings went, but viewers complained angrily about the direction of the frames in the fifth season and decided to turn the scheme, self-conclusive episodes with dramatic arches balanced the scales and the series did not dense, more afraid of the network.

Julian Mcmahon The hole was supplied by the actor Drew Fuller, who joined to be regular throughout the season, while Alyssa was on the crest of stardom after breaking her relationship with Eric Dane and romantically linked to Justin Timberlake. Gossips say that such was his power in the series, after breaking with the actor from Grey's Anatomy this was fulminant fired, and the truth is that his character abruptly left the series and was never heard from again.

4.3 million fans on average were still fully compatible with a WB that was beginning to suffer in the ratings and lost its position against UPN.

Season 7.

This season the producers were looking for more audience hooked to the series and decided to spend more money on well-known guest stars that appeal to the audience, the first move was the signing of Nick Lachey , which was on the show for 6 episodes and was a complete fiasco being a mere partner for Alyssa Milano. Later incorporated Kerr Smith and Billy Zane famous for a three-episode arc ending with the conclusion of episode 150 and the back by a day of Julian McMahon as Cole.

By that point the persistent rumors about the cancellation did not fail to be heard, and the feast of celebration for episode 150, Brad Kern took care to clarify that he had asked for an explanation but since Warner had been deaf, so they hastily decided to create a hybrid of season and series finale for the last episode in case TheWB its renewal was not valid.

It was expected and feared the worst, the pressure from fans and the team had issued days before the last chapter for the confirmation of renewal for the eighth season with several conditions and a drastic reduction in pay for a series that cost him dearly as a small network was TheWB. And is that the data did not help, since Charmed suffered the most erosion, passing 3.5 million fans on average, but the influence of Spelling and 7th Heaven star products on the grid were also feat.

Season 8.

smelled final, actresses and the team ended the contract and after eight years playing the same characters seemed time to end the frame, but Brad Kern insisted that he had to hurry, he wrote the first part of the season as if it were a normal and if not received any signal from the network would put all eggs in one basket in the second half give a deserved end to the series.

The trend continued last season, and signed for six episodes Jason Lewis for Phoebe's love interest, also had players recognized as Ivan Sergei and Victor Webster , which appeared to remain in the final stretch of episodes, but the signing was the most notorious of the time semidesconocida by Kaley Cuoco . Brad Kern always admitted that the orders signed by the chain so that your character will have his own series, and is already in the previous season Showrunner instructed the pilot Mermaid, a spin off created in the first chapter of the fifth season that did not work, but despite that, it seemed that the chain wanted to continue with the brand Charmed.

big changes were coming, the network had decided to end 7Th Heaven with all its pain, as after ten seasons we were unassumable their production costs, plus news broke of the merger between Warner chain and UPN, combined with poor health status of an elder Spelling and neglect of the canal, remained silent about the renovation, had all decided to finish in style whatever happened. So the last ten episodes served as epilogue to the series, and finally decided to advertise TheWB the end of the series with a countdown from Chapter 17 of the season.

It is also the fiscal adjustment was so strong that it forced to restructure work around the campus, had to fire a historical production, Dorian Gregory, who had been regular for 7 seasons, Brian Krause was only contracted for 12 episodes, not the 22 regular and executive producer, showrunner himself and much of the team members decided to voluntarily reduce their salary to the quality of the series not to find bitter.

Finally May 21, 2006 Charmed drew to a close with 4.5 million followers in the last episode and an average of over 3.6 million during his last season, getting also the title of the longest running television production with female leads and being the last survivor of his class, and the second longest running series in the short life of TheWB.

Charmed was a huge success for your station during his eight-year run, garnered a huge amount of money in international sales which surpassed the success in his native country, like Spain, where he was the most-watched foreign series during the 2001-2002 season and earned him the highest profits in its history by selling syndication rights, which led, among other things, the renewal in moments where everything seemed to believe he was about to end.

The mixture of different genres, the judicious choice of cast, unnecessary controversy and a multitude of ups and downs in front and behind the scenes make the story of Charmed one of the most complex of the history of TV.

Charmed: Behind The Scenes. Damages

In 1998, the former TheWB was at a turning point for your grill and programming. After the appearance of 7th Heaven, Buffy and Dawson's Creek was before the crucial year of consolation and needed success to distance himself from his next rival UPN, so ordered two pilots that drew heavily the attention of the spectators, first Felicity, the first major opportunity to JJ Abrams, and other Charmed , a production of King Midas Aaron Spelling. Both were intended for a more adult audience than their mates grill, looking like a priority target of women and creating Buffy with a growing trend in dramas featuring strong, independent women, which oddly enough, it was difficult for 12 seasons.

Soon Charmed became a hit thanks to the particular audience mix of genres that brought a touch of fresh air to the grill of his station and reinforced its commitment to the supernatural touches sprinkled in different genres who triumphed in other series such as love and family values, endorsing their commitment to this scheme in Angel and Smallville.

won Charmed for 8 seasons in a complicated grid that turned its essence TheWB countless occasions during his 11 seasons on the air, and is the story behind the scenes one of the most complex of the TV.

Season 1.

Announcing Aaron Spelling returned to work with Shannen Doherty press went crazy, given the circumstances in which the diva had left 4 years before Beverly Hills 90210, the illness was evident and the pilot's release brought to 7.7 million fans, the largest audience accumulated by a release in the history of the network, against all odds, as TheWB never thought that a series like that were to succeed in their station. Problems with the pilot and the casting were evident, managers did not want Holly Marie Combs star in the series and at that time was almost a total unknown, so Aaron had to deal with them and convince them that the only way to go ahead with the series, also the third actress Lori Rom in discord, decided to abandon the project just shoot the pilot, so we had to find a replacement in a hurry call to Alyssa Milano, who was working in Melrose Place, Series of the house, and re-shoot the first episode again.

six chapters were recorded, and after the issuance of the second TheWB granted a full season before the great ratings he had received, but did demand, lowering the Gothic elements of the series, less dark and a plot procedural that would help new viewers to catch the series at any time of the season.

With the seventh series substantially changed, the background music and the plots were restructured and the hearing continued to be fantastic, but the heads of the station continued to meddle in the production, demanding a greater role to Shannen in frames and trying to prevent the presence of Brian Krause became habitual.

Yet the first season managed to gather 5.4 million viewers Wednesday night, aided by the strong lead-in to WB were granted, Dawsons Creek, which marked a 5.4 identical million and beating Buffy (5.3 million) by the minimum.

Season 2.

Following the success of the previous batch of episodes was decided to move the series Thursday and leave their successful opening for the premiere of Roswell, but Charmed continued to succeed in your new schedule although things got rough off the stage.

Ted King's departure last season brought the signing of two new regular players, Karis Paige Bryant and Greg Vaughan which proved a total failure, being rejected by viewers. Karis Paige was magically ejected from the show after only 4 innings and Vaughan said goodbye at the end of the season by a decision of the producers, who claimed that they could not find a way for him in the series, which if made for Brian Krause was going to be regular after have appeared as guest star for a year and a half and was embroiled in a relationship with Alyssa Milano at the time.

The creator of Charmed, Constance M. Burge and his co-executive producer Brad Kern began to have serious disputes in the writers' room, they both wanted to continue the story in different ways, first wanted to continue with the scheme followed so far, while the latter sought to turn frames to one side far more sentimental and strengthen relationships and no magic frames. After months of disagreements TheWB decided to support Kern and the creator of the series decided abandon the project.

also began to create problems between Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano, who had gained tremendous popularity during the summer break between the first and second season, but the blood would not reach the river now.

If the problems behind the scenes followed one another in front of them all was joy, Charmed became the second most-watched series chain with 4.8 million fans, second only to his "sister more 7th Heaven.

Season 3.

After the departure of Burge, Brad Kern began to introduce elements serial production, gradually abandoning the scheme known as "monster of the week" and hiring Julian McMahon (beginning to come out with Shannen Doherty in real life for a few months) as the main love interest for Alyssa Milano.

The premiere audience attracted to the same 7.7 million who took the pilot, but the plot increasingly focused more on the characters of Milano and Shannen Combs while enjoying increasingly less weight. The situation soon became untenable, Milano and Doherty had stopped speaking and the atmosphere on set was infernal, actresses communicate only when their characters were forced to do so and Shannen gave an ultimatum to the chain and the producers, or remain a or the other.

After tense weeks after recording the last episode of the season where the characters of Prue and Piper were seriously injured, Shannen decided to leave the show without notice, leaving hanging the actors and producers and a flagrant breach contract they still lacked two years of operation.

Charmed was renewed for two more seasons and had remained as the second best product TheWb with 4.9 million viewers, beating the third consecutive year Buffy and Dawson's Creek.

Season 4.

The press began to haunt Shannen, who was involved in trouble with the claim that he had brought, attacked the campus of the series, accusing them of unprofessional and declared that if she left the series, his best friend, Holly Marie Combs would, too, thing made evident once again, the Hollywood diva who escaped demand by Holly, who from the start time to be credited as the star of the series despite the fame of Milan. Shannen

refused to continue shooting even out of his character, so the producers had to manage to continue with the lucrative business that involved the series. They spent all summer looking for a replacement for Doherty, with the names of Tiffani Thiessen, Eliza Dushku, Rose McGowan and Jennifer Love Hewitt candidates to take the upper hand. McGowan was finally able to convince that the direct and joined the series after signing an agreement for five years, along with Alyssa and Holly which extended his for three more.

The story continued with the serial scheme last year and after the general and logical course of time the audience began to suffer a mild, but the main concern of the chain had been settled, and the Rose McGowan's character was widely accepted by the audience, 4.2 million supporters that after the departure of Buffy to another station and the collapse of Dawson's Creek were still more than enough.

Charmed Ecuador had reached its broadcast on American grill and should consolidate the data recorded during his last season with the raid crucial for a new actress and the change in the dynamics which meant losing a figure that dragged both public and Shannen Doherty. We will see that happen in the next post.

Fakku! Yuri Doujinshi

is ratatouille, cooked Rubicon.

When AMC was about to launch Rubicon thing 13 weeks ago, all media were quick to find an equivalent next series Direct Damages TV for his conspiratorial thriller appearance, his scheme of thirteen episodes and a case to solve, the quality of his scripts and a plot that ultimately is not suitable for all tastes.

were wrong, for Damages and Rubicon seem just seen from outside, but were right in one thing, both are highly addictive, from two completely different views, but once you get into your game you realize that no can escape.

like a good ratatouille, cook several items is sauteed, giving each of his perfect doneness and reserves in the right place until everyone is ready for later, bringing each of them in the same bowl and stir well to cook together for few seconds, resulting in a homogeneous planted at the end but high technical complication if cooked the right way.

Rubicon, as a good stew, incorporating all the ingredients in the same container at a time, starting with very cold water and cook slowly, very slowly, being able to see the process of cooking for one, they will gradually take its characteristic color and odor until it finally becomes a blunt plate, no surprises, no big surprises, but extremely solid.

Both are dishes

special, not to be taken at any time or place, but to enjoy it spoonful by spoonful by the difficulty of preparation means that both are perfectly cooked. Sometimes do better, sometimes worse, sometimes, even exquisite, do not seem to like the whole family. FX tired of ratatouille last April, but has sent the recipe to Direct TV, which has promised further improvement for two years, while still savoring their first AMC stew, which has left very good impression on some, perhaps less than expected, and that is why we are thinking if it improves the prescription or on the other hand keeps the spaghetti preparing for the day 31 and put aside the meat and chickpeas. Hopefully not!
